lanceolatis, acuminatis, circiter 5 mm longis, petalis laciniatis, 
basi cuneatis, margine dense villosis; staminibus 25, antheris

A tree about 12 m high, quite glabrous except the slightly ap- — 
pressed-pilose younger branchlets and inflorescence. Branches 
slender, reddish-brown. Leaves oblong-elliptic, chartaceous, 6 
to 9 cm long, 2 to 3.5 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the 
acute base and the somewhat acuminate apex, margins serrate- 
crenulate, somewhat olivaceous when dry, shining; lateral 
nerves slender, about 6 on each side of the midrib, anasto- 
mosing, the reticulations slender, axils of the leaves eglandular; 
petioles slender, 1 to 1.5 cm long. Racemes axillary, solitary, 
few, 3 to 4 cm long, few-flowered, the pedicels about 5 mm long. 
Flowers white, 5-merous. Sepals lanceolate, acuminate, about 
5 mm long, 1.2 mm wide, externally very slightly puberulent. 
Petals 5.5 to 6 mm long, base cuneate, margins in the lower 
part densely villous with long hairs, the apical 2 mm cut into 
about 15, very slender, subequal divisions. Stamens about 25, 
3 mm long, the anthers narrow, scabrid, cleft at the apex, one 
cell very slightly exceeding the other and ciliate-bearded at the 
tip. Ovary pubescent; style slender, lower part somewhat pu- 
bescent. Fruit ellipsoid or narrowly ellipsoid, about 2.5 cm
